First and foremost hopefully everyone is being safe.I'm currently considering Lease purchasing with US Xpress .If any one who is currently leasing have anything they could offer I'd really appreciate it.
Do you pick your loads?
Avg mile and conditions of truck?
Pay scale ,under 400 miles? Over 400?
Avg deductions? Avg weekly take home?
Are loads plentiful?
Again I really appreciate the info
Current L/P 's with U S Xpress

Don't do it. Glorified company driver with all the risk and expense.
Buy a truck for cash or get a loan through a bank. Atleast a bank you can do what you want. Don't use a trucking company as a bank.
Read the horror stories. Almost all will lose. It is designed that way.JonJon78 Thanks this. -

Most mega carriers all have the same standard lease. You’ll haul heavy and fuel against every load, you’ll do short haul not long haul, long haul will be reserved for teams. If you want those long miles, they’ll recommend training a student, you’ll compete with the company drivers for freight, sliding scale rates, they book your loads, turn down too many and you’ll sit. Be prepared to be in the negative some weeks, hope you’re ready to live in the truck because you’ll need to, unless you’re running team. I give you 4 weeks. After that you’ll be back here telling everyone why it’s a horrible idea to lease a truck through U.S. Xpress.
But don’t take my word for it. Go ahead. Some people gotta get burned before they’ll learn.Last edited: Nov 17, 2018

Good move. Companies don't offer LP out of the kindness of their heart. They offer them because they stand to make more money than if they ran the truck themselves.
Pure economics.
